La collection De Grasse Ambre & Santal and Rose & Osmanthus

The School of Grasse.

The true story of collection de grasse.

A place that unites precious ingredients from near and far.

The story began with the creation of a pair of scented gloves, prompting the cultivation of fragrant plants from the Grasse region. At the end of the 18th century, Grasse had become the world capital of perfumery – a town where the greatest perfumers learned their skills, a place that united precious ingredients from near and far.

To create La Collection de Grasse, L'OCCITANE composed exclusive fragrances that unite the most precious ingredients, bringing them together in a beautiful harmony.
